Napoli’s rapid goal blitz gives them a 4-2 win at Monza

NAPOLI: Napoli scored three goals within six second-half minutes as they clinched a 4-2 victory at Monza on Sunday to keep alive their slim hopes of a top-four finish in Serie A.

Napoli are seventh in the table with 48 points, 10 points behind fourth-placed Bologna, who played out a goalless draw at Frosinone earlier on Sunday. Monza are 11th with 42 points. Milan Duric nodded in a goal for Monza nine minutes into the match, outmanoeuvring Napoli’s Juan Jesus to connect with a cross. Napoli’s response kicked off 10 minutes into the second half with Victor Osimhen’s equaliser, closely followed by Matteo Politano’s remarkable volley two minutes later. In the 61st minute, Piotr Zielinski’s long-range strike secured the visitors’ third goal.
